The 21.century student – open-minded, tolerant and active citizen of future Europe
This is a 7-day training course, offering a hands-on, practical training which will empower the participants with the skills and knowledge how to organize relevant training sessions for their students so that they become more open-minded and accepting differences.
This short CPD (Continuing Professional Development) course is eligible for Erasmus+ funding.
Description
Globalization and migration have brought together people from different ethnic origins, religious backgrounds, traditions and languages. We live together and we should not only tolerate this diversity, we should value it as an opportunity through which we can learn from one another in order to build stronger, more dynamic societies. Human rights, diversity, tolerance and non-violence related issues have become even more important considering the migrant crisis and the terrorist attacks round Europe and worldwide.
Schooling could play a key role in overcoming the historically developed negative attitudes to human differences. The realization of this role suggests that teachers have the relevant knowledge, skills and tools.
This 7-day course will empower the participants with the skills and knowledge how to organize relevant training sessions for their students so that they become more open-minded and accepting differences.
Learning objectives
- Getting the knowledge of basics in Human Rights, Diversity and Involvement education through the topics in the Teachers' Manual.
- Mastering skills which will enable them to discuss with their students questions on existing notions of human differences in modern society and run relevant activities choosing from the ones suggested in the Teachers’ Manual considering the local context.
- Getting to know non-formal education teaching approaches and start using them not only in the suggested civic education trainings but also in the routine teaching process.
- Responsibly accepting a code of behaviour so that all their actions and interactions bear respect to Otherness and students’ individuality by participating in the course training sessions together with a diverse group of European teachers.
- Learn more about the challenges local teachers have faced regarding the use of the Teachers’ Manual through the planned sessions with the involvement of native teachers who have piloted the training topics.
Methodology & assessment
The pedagogical methods that we use are based upon experiential training, group and peer activities, learning-by-doing and best practices’ exchange.
Teachers will learn about and participate in implementing a diverse number of non-formal ways for delivering contents in which trainees are active participants, e.g. simulations, role plays, guided drama activities, theatre of the oppressed, interactive video resources.
Materials, digital tools & other learning resources
The training course is the result of two Erasmus+ projects. The two project developed a Teachers’ Manual comprising 66 training topics distributed in 3 modules: Human rights, Diversity and Active citizenship. The participants in the training course will have free-access to the training topics in a Teachers’ Manual. Each topic is accompanied by several multimedia objects, e.g. animated cartoons, video clips, filmed drama performances and discussions, simulations, case studies as basis for discussions, interactive exercises, etc. Multimedia objects are ready-to-use materials meant to support teachers' work as mediators in the trainings they are expected to deliver after attending the course. The multimedia resources are described with the corresponding characteristics as learning objects in the Teachers' Manual.
Certification details
At the end of the course, each participant will receive a certificate of attendance and a Europass Mobility Certificate.
We will support the participants in the certification process by delivering a special session devoted to Europass mobility certificates, as well as in the validation of learning outcomes process by providing mentors to all trainees during the implementation process when they will deliver trainings to their students using the Teachers’ Manual topics.
